WIRE FENCE.

SPECIFICATIN forming part of Letters Patent No. 259,803, dated June .20,l 1882. Application tiled December 2, 1881. (No model.)

To all whom tt may concern:

'Be it known that I, LEVI BRENIZEE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Mount Vernon, in the county of Linn and State of Iowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Wire Fences in combination with Live Posts or Standards, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

My invention consists of a novel construction of fence having posts and wires in combination with live posts or standards, such as growing corn in rows, al1 as will be hereinafter fully described, and specifically designated in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a side view of my invention; Fig. 2, a crosssection thereotlf In the drawings, Fig. l is a side View of one form of my fence, the same being intended for dividing corn-fields 4where it is desired to let hogs or cattle feed on the green corn in part of a eld and shut them out of the remainder thereof.

the green leaves plucked off so that cattle will not browse or feed on the fence. .l will use more or less wires, as the case may be, so as to stop hogs or other cattle. The wires are properly stretched and the endsnfastened.

In order to brace the fence, or a single row of cornstalks, a second row of stalks is bent over, as seen at D, Fig. 2, and the tops of tWo rows fastened together by wires. The braces D are always'plaeed on the side of the fence from which the live-stock is shut out. I have tried a double series of braces, one on each side of the main row of cornstalks; but I prefer the single series on one side of the main row.

I have tried the above-described fence and find the same will stop hogs and other cattle, as a cheap and temporary fence.

Having described my invention, what I claim is l. A fence having the posts A and wires B, in combination with ro'ws of growing cornstalks Cysubstantially as set forth.

2. A fence having the posts A and wires B, in combination with rows of growing cornstalks C, and rows of growing cornstallis bent over` to form braces D for the rows of cornstalks C, substantially as herein shown and described.

In testimony whereof I ax my signature in presence of two witnesses.

LEVI BRENIZER.
